Winter Break Announcement!

For the next two weeks we are on KRUI's winter break schedule! This means twice as much fun for you (and definitely us). You can find us this week AND next week on Monday AND Tuesday evenings at 6-8 pm central. We'll be in the main studio for all four shows but the radio broadcasting equipment is currently frozen. This means you can find us ONLINE by just clicking on the main studio link.

Because this is KRUI's break schedule, we're planning on playing it a little loose (if you can believe that). No official themes are planned as of yet, but that certainly doesn't mean we won't break one out.

December 15th- An Aughts Adventure!

This week we're diving deep into our music collections of the last ten years. Rewind with us through the decade that was the 2000's. When we awoke on January 1, 2000, at ages 13 and 15 respectively, neither of us ever imaged we'd become just. so. cool. Ten years, two high school diplomas, two college diplomas, ten hair colors, three million hours of listening to music, and 45 failed romances later we're ready to reflect. This Tuesday we'll be playing two hours of our favorites from the last decade in the Lab from 6-8 PM CT. Nothing is off-limits, as long as it was released from 2000-2009 (I'm looking at you, Beyonce).

Mer edit: What were we doing about three years ago? Oh I don't know, being friends and stuff, probably planning this radio show. See below:
